Flogging a Dead Horse

searching for the right path
for i am still in here
the're walking, creeping
speaking at once
as my breath starts to spin
flood of sleep keeps me alive
drifting like a cork
nobody's here to catch me
let this anathema refuse absolution
abandonning the ship of life i wander
the blue velvet dream i travel
for i've lost my words
but kept my distinctive features
see them look like anyone else
a closed grey façade
drifting like a cork
nobody's here to catch me
let this anathema refuse absolution
abandonning the ship of life i wander
i am flogging a dead horse
it's going too fast
and the world goes by
like a mad, mad video recorder
i'm familiar to no one
i am flogging a dead horse
and all the shadows flee from nihil
